"It's a lot of pressure on me......"

On the big teaching field, under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Zhu Gaoxu took two deep breaths nervously.

At the same time, he also glanced at the military attaché children around him, shaking his head in his heart as he watched.

As far as he knew, there were more than 2,700 military attaches in Beijing and more than 13,700 military attaches abroad.

Due to the implementation of the military household system in the Hongwu Dynasty and the hereditary military attache system, the basic military attachés were hereditary fathers and sons.

Even if a military household is promoted through meritorious service, the original position is still hereditary from father to son, and the meritorious military household can only be transferred to other places to serve.

In other words, the number of military attaches in the Ming Dynasty is more than 16,400, and the number of hereditary military attachés is also the corresponding number.

However, compared with the old military attaches who were killed from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng period, the quality of the second and third generations is indeed worrying.

Among a thousand people, I am afraid that even fifty people who are skilled in archery, horse, horse, cavalry, and archery will not be able to make up fifty people, let alone march and arrange.

"If the army is under the command of this group of guys in the future, then ......"

The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched, and he no longer had expectations for the grassroots command ability of the Ming army more than ten years later.

Based on the current performance of the children of the thousands of military attachés, Zhu Gaoxu can also understand why the guard system can basically only defend in the later stage of Yongle.

The generals can't do it, and it's useless for the soldiers to fight no matter how much they can.

"Zhu Gaoxu!"

"Here!"

On the big teaching field, the examiner shouted to Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaoxu also subconsciously responded and walked to the front row.

Because wearing heavy armor is very physically demanding, the soldiers of the Leopard Tao Guard have been changing and resting.

Zhu Gaoxu was unlucky, and just changed to a soldier with full physical strength.

But for him, it doesn't matter if the soldiers are full of strength or dissatisfied.

He picked up a long stick, spread his feet slightly apart, and turned his body as sideways as possible, aiming the head of the stick at the soldier.

Opposite him, the guards of the Leopard Tao Guard responded in the same way.

This scene attracted the attention of the military officials on the school platform, and many of them also made up their minds.

"That soldier is only five feet three or four inches long, although his skills are solid, but His Highness is tall and has long arms, plus he can open a hundred and thirty catties of tiger power and a strong bow before, I'm afraid that the soldier is not an opponent."

"It's not right, we still have to see how well His Royal Highness has practiced his stick skills, and the stick is no better than the longbow."

Several military attachés discussed, and Zhu Gaoxu in the big teaching field did not hide it, but directly stepped forward with a gun and stabbed the soldier in the chest.

The soldier's stick head was biased, trying to stagger Zhu Gaoxu's stick head, but he didn't want Zhu Gaochu to have great strength, so he lost the opportunity if he couldn't stagger this time.

In such a situation, Zhu Gaoxu almost thought that he had won, but the experienced leopard Tao guards followed the stick tail at the moment when the stick head was staggered, twisted his waist and knocked Zhu Gaoxu's stick head away with the stick tail, and took a step back.

"Gao Xu's kid has a good practice of sticks, but compared to the soldiers who have practiced spears and sticks for more than ten years, he is still a little less skilled."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who is good at making sticks, opened his mouth to comment, and the people on the left and right also heard a little closeness from his address to Zhu Gaoxu.

Obviously, Zhu Gaoxu's performance today is indeed changing his impression in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart step by step.

Zhu Yunwen did not show any displeasure, but stepped forward and said:

"Gao Xu is young after all, and he has only been in the military camp for three months, so it is normal for his skills to be not good, and with more training in the future, he will definitely be as skilled as an old soldier in the army."

"Hmm......" Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yunwen helping Zhu Gaoxu speak, and he was also a little satisfied, and he couldn't help but have a little smile on his face.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen immediately retreated to his position, staring at Zhu Gaoxu and Bao Taowei on the school field.

As far as his eyes could see, Zhu Gaoxu pressed forward step by step, holding sticks in both hands, and hit the old pawn with the move of splitting Huashan with force.

The old pawn instinctively raised the long stick to block it, as if he wanted to tilt the long stick with the momentum, and spread out one hand to let Zhu Gaoxu's long stick slide off and unload the force, and then swept Zhu Gaoxu with his own stick tail.

This set of combos was practiced by him on the battlefield, and he tried and tested.

It's just that his abacus fell, because the moment the long stick in Zhu Gaoxu's hand hit the stick in his hand, he was confused for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that he was already sitting on the ground, and his mouth was swollen and painful.

"Concession ......"

He looked up and saw Zhu Gaoxu holding a stick and holding his fist humbly, and he only reacted at this time, he was obviously knocked to the ground by a stick just now.

From his point of view, he may be a little confused, but in the eyes of outsiders, the old pawn just now was beaten by Zhu Gaoxu with a stick before he had time to unload his strength, and the stick in his hand flew out.

If it weren't for Zhu Gaoxu's last stick, I'm afraid the old pawn would have already been beaten on the shoulder.

"This kid doesn't take it seriously."

Zhu Yuanzhang said that Zhu Gaoxu was not, but the smile on his face couldn't be contained.

Looking at his appearance, Xu Huizu and the commanders of the four guards were all relieved.

The emperor is happy, so even if the children of military attachés do not perform well today, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies should not be punished too severely.

Sure enough, as they expected, after half a ring, the school examination ended, and after the document was sent to Zhu Yuanzhang to be read by him, he did not jump like thunder, but bowed his head slightly.

After a while, waiting for the children of the military attachés in the audience to stand back in the line, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly spoke:

"There are only 32 children of 1,000 military attachés, archers, horses, horses, spears and short soldiers, and the remaining more than 900 people are unqualified."

"The ministers are ashamed......" Seeing the emperor say this, Xu Huizu and the others knelt down on one knee and lowered their noble heads.

In the face of the accusations of Xu Huizu and others, Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond immediately, but read it specifically before telling Xu Huizu and the military attache of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies:

"In the early years, I often ordered the children of military attachés to practice martial arts, and today I am at peace for a long time, and the young people can only enjoy their fathers and brothers, and indulge in music, singing and dancing as games."

"Once they take office, this group of children can't ride horses and shoot arrows, and they can't control the soldiers, so can An serve the country?"

"The reason why I ordered the examination of the school's military attache children's skills this time is because of the recent Yangzhou Wei commander Shan Shou."

Zhu Yuanzhang said the reason for the edict of the military attaché's children, and as soon as the reason came out, the head of the military attache of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies lowered even deeper.

This year, Shan Shou, the son of the military attache of Yangzhou Wei, took his father's position as a commander and led his troops to Taizhou to arrest the invaders.

This kind of task of catching criminals was very easy for most of the Ming soldiers who were wearing armor in the early Ming Dynasty, and it can even be said to be a welfare.

However, the outcome of this incident was a big disappointment.

Shan Shou and the Yangzhou guards suddenly met with the thieves on the way to arrest, and at the moment of the battle, the Yangzhou guards were ready to fight the thieves.

As a result, at this time, Shan Shou, who was the commander, actually fled because he was afraid, and also called the soldiers to protect him and retreat together, which eventually led to the defeat of the army.

The more than 100 soldiers in armor of the guard post couldn't defeat hundreds of unarmored thieves......

After this incident happened, it quickly attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's attention, so there was this edict ordering the children of military attaches to enter Beijing for the entrance examination.

"The matter of Shan Shou is all due to the fact that he never practices martial arts on weekdays."

"I decree today, from now on, the children of military attachés must practice archery in their spare time."

"The children of military attachés who want to inherit must enter Beijing in this big teaching field, and the military attachés of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will read and test their riding and archery permits."

"Otherwise, even if you are conferred, you can only give half a salary."

"If you fail the school examination, you can go home to practice your skills, and you can only take the re-examination after three years."

"If you can't ride and shoot after three years, then you will be demoted to the army."

Zhu Yuanzhang announced a new policy to the military attachés of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the military attaches could only bow down and salute loudly: "Long live"

The celebrant and eunuch on the side recorded the words spoken by Zhu Yuanzhang in front of the emperor, and prepared to distribute the decree after returning to the palace with a little polish.

"Okay, let's stop here today, the children of military attachés who are qualified in martial arts will be sent back to the station, and those who are not qualified will be allowed to go home or stay in the big teaching field to study martial arts."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, and the ministers around him bowed down one after another, and he also set his eyes on Zhu Gaoxu's team.

He didn't say anything, just glanced at it and turned to leave.

Seeing him leave, Zhu Yunwen quickly followed.

Seeing this, the hundreds of officials on the stage, the Hezhou Wei and the Baotao guards also guarded them and left the Dajiao field.

This scene is very fortunate for the children of the military attachés, and it is also very normal for the soldiers of the Great Sect, but it is not good for Zhu Gaoxu.

He looked at the departing Luan Jia, and his eyes widened.

"What? What about me? My grades are so good, why don't I have any arrangements? ”
